Study: Mature Drivers Share Insight on Safety Technology

Vehicle safety technologies are increasingly available on new car models. Do today’s 50+ drivers “happen” to have new cars with these technologies or are they actively seeking out such safety features?
 
The Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence® and the MIT AgeLab conducted their fourth in a series of research projects on vehicle safety technology. In this survey, they explored the preferences of drivers age 50+ for vehicle safety technologies now and in the future; their views on the ability of vehicle technologies to extend their years on the road; and their perception of the role of self-driving cars in ensuring their future mobility.
 
Research Findings
 
The survey, “Looking Forward: Vehicle Technology Preferences Among Mature Drivers,” reveals that 76% of drivers age 50 and older who plan to buy a new car in the next two years will actively seek out high-tech safety features and would most like:
 
  • Blind spot warning systems (87%)
  • Crash mitigation systems (85%)
  • Lane departure warning systems (79%)
  • Smart headlights (78%)
Vehicle safety technologies today are increasingly available on new car models. While many drivers age 50+ may “happen” into having such technologies on their new vehicles, in the coming years more will actively seek out such technologies.
